Very nice metallic blue (“Ocean Turquoise*) paintwork which is virtually unmarked. Medium 32 inch scale with a nice dark slab rosewood board. 2 x Jazz pickups, active electronics with dual concentric controls for volume, treble, bass and blend. designed and endorsed by bassist Stu Hamm:-[/font][/size] [size=5][font=Arial, sans-serif]Background: The original [b]Fender Urge Bass[/b] was designed in conjunction with John Page and was the first Artist Signature bass offered by Fender, and featured a sleekly downsized alder body; two Custom Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups; a Custom Precision Bass pickup; dual-band EQ; 18v power supply (only on Urge II) and a Lace Sensor on first Urge; a panning Jazz pickup selector control; asymmetrical oval neck profile and a neck with a sculpted heel; string-through gold-plated bridge; two stacked black control knobs; black Gotoh tuners, and a medium-scale, 32" graphite-reinforced maple neck featuring a 2-octave rosewood fingerboard with 24 medium-jumbo frets. This bass also had a rotary switch offering four modes: standby (off), active mid-boost, active no-boost, and passive (urge). The pearloid pickguard was of a unique shape with a smaller footprint than many other Fender basses. Colours offered were Lake Placid Blue, Montego Black, Sherwood Green Metallic, and Burgundy Mist. The original Urge was first introduced in 1993 and was discontinued in 1999.
